MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker has signed a Republican-authored bill that would ensure scores on the statewide Badger Exam public school children are taking this spring aren't used against teachers or put on report cards measuring school performance.
The Badger Exam was best with a host of problems that generated widespread criticism from parents, school districts, state policymakers and the governor. Since the test is tied to the more rigorous Common Core academic standards, scores were expected to be lower than they had been in the past. The test also has been beset with implementation problems.
Walker signed the bill Wednesday at the state Capitol.
